"I'll offer my own endorsement from the [New York Times Notable] 100: Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, by Anne Case and Angus Deaton. It covers arguably the single most alarming development in American life, one that helps explain the frustration pulsing through the country: In many communities, people are not living as long as their parents did." --David Leonhardt, New York Times

Too Close for Comfort | Caitlin Zaloom Why are economists are in the US today uniquely able to exercise such sway over the state?

"Question the unstated alliance between 'those who benefit from the status quo and those whose way of thinking about the world tends to defend it.'"

Love the honesty in this intro/endorsement by Benny Goodman. “This book… contains a certain number of songs which I did not like then, have subsequently forgotten, and, frankly speaking, am not remotely tempted to add to my repertoire.”

Read a sample chapter of Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World by R. Jisung Park. Park explains how climate change operates as the silent accumulation of a thousand tiny conflagrations. Discover how we can begin to overcome our climate anxiety.
